From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 978 - 974: I Didn’t Mean To (First Update)
Mu Shuangshuang invited the village chief, invited Yu Dahai, it was already afternoon.
Once everything was settled, and Luo Bai drafted the contract, it was already afternoon.
Both parties signed the contract, pressed their fingerprints, and this matter was thoroughly resolved.
Sun Dawu left with the Sun Family. During his days in Qingshan Town, Mu Shuangshuang paid Sun Dawu thirty coins per day as wages.
Sun Xiaozhu originally hadn’t paid any gift or living expenses, so there was no need to refund money.
However, because Sun Dawu and his wife made quite a fuss, fearing it would affect the school’s reputation, Luo Bai had them sign another contract.
This served as evidence if others asked about the matter in the future.
A whole day and night without sleep, Mu Shuangshuang was indeed somewhat exhausted.
She slept the entire afternoon, and when she woke up again, the sun had already set.
Opening her eyes, she saw Lu Yuanfeng sitting by her bedside.
One arm supporting his head, he was also in a half-sleep.
If we talk about hardship, yesterday Lu Yuanfeng ran back and forth in town three times, that was truly exhausting.
Mu Shuangshuang smiled as she looked at the still-sleeping person. The sleeping Lu Yuanfeng was surrounded by a peaceful tranquility, like a hermit.
Uncontested, everything followed naturally.
In Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes, a glint of understanding flashed.
The person before her was strong when needed, gentle when necessary, never complained and never said he was tired.
Everything he did, he did to the best of his ability.
If he did well, he wouldn’t be complacent; if poorly, he would self-reflect.
Such a person, is difficult to find in the world!
The more Mu Shuangshuang looked at him, the more pleased she became, until she unintentionally laughed out loud.
Hearing the sound, Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes immediately opened, greeted by Mu Shuangshuang’s smiling face.
He was slightly stunned and quickly explained: "I sent Brother Dahai to Iron Road Village to San Dan’s house, he said he would drop by and see his sister Xiuxiu. I originally said I would leave later, but accidentally fell asleep."
"It’s time for dinner, let me get you some food!" Lu Yuanfeng said as he anxiously got up.
Not realizing, he had been sitting so long, his leg fell asleep.
Suddenly startled, his leg lost strength, and he ended up falling directly onto Mu Shuangshuang.
As their eyes met, Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes widened, Lu Yuanfeng was startled, originally in a hurry to get up, he hadn’t expected the numbness in his leg to completely lose strength.
This time, he pressed so tightly against Mu Shuangshuang, they could both hear each other’s breathing.
Mu Shuangshuang was stunned.
Although dating as modern people, their relationship wasn’t very intimate, honestly not.
Even when sharing a room in town, they each had their own bed.
As close as they were now, had never happened before.
"Lu Yuanfeng, you..." As Mu Shuangshuang spoke, her heart pounded.
"Sorry, I... my leg is numb, seems I can’t get up." Lu Yuanfeng was very annoyed.
He dared not move, afraid moving would make the numbness worse.
But in this position, he was even more nervous, his heart almost jumped out.
"Leg fell asleep? Then don’t move, it should get better soon." Mu Shuangshuang felt a bit guilty.
She deliberately kept her breathing slow.
But being so close, even a gentle breath could be felt.
Both their faces turned red.
"You worked hard yesterday, let’s not go to the restaurant tomorrow." Mu Shuangshuang began to change the subject to ease the awkwardness.
"It’s okay, the problem is solved, we can ask someone else, restaurant work shouldn’t be delayed.
I spoke with Brother Dahai, let him hire a reliable cook.
Furthermore, he felt your skills shouldn’t be taught to the head chef, but cultivated in someone from the family, others aren’t trustworthy, especially unique things, they’re like secrets!"
Lu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Shuangshuang agreed with Yu Dahai’s opinion, older people are wiser.
Yu Dahai, after all, has been a steward at a restaurant for years.
"By the way, Fengzi, I..." Mu Shuangshuang tilted her head to call Lu Yuanfeng’s name.
Lu Yuanfeng happened to lower his head, resulting in his lips brushing against Mu Shuangshuang’s face.
Lu Yuanfeng was stunned, Mu Shuangshuang was also stunned.
They stayed like that for quite a while before suddenly returning to normal.
"Shuangshuang, I didn’t mean it, I just... I..."
Lu Yuanfeng was so flustered he was at a loss for words.
Mu Shuangshuang saw his expression, knew it wasn’t intentional, but seeing him like this, she wanted to tease this clumsy idiot a bit.
"Alright, alright, I know, don’t blame yourself, that was really an accident, truly!"
Mu Shuangshuang reached out, cupped Lu Yuanfeng’s face, and gave him a quick peck.
Then embarrassedly covered her face with her hands.
Oh my, so embarrassing...
Mu Shuangshuang felt she could dig a hole and bury herself right now.
Lu Yuanfeng was petrified, staring at Mu Shuangshuang in disbelief, as if she had done something incredible.
"Shuangshuang, you..."
"What’s wrong with me?" Mu Shuangshuang asked seriously.
Lu Yuanfeng covered his face, shaking his head. "Nothing, nothing..."
Mu Shuangshuang almost couldn’t hold back her laughter, Lu Yuanfeng’s expression, completely stunned, was simply too adorable.
"Is your leg better?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Only then did Lu Yuanfeng realize, at some point, his leg was no longer numb.
But he didn’t want to part from Shuangshuang yet.
He still wanted to look at her a bit longer.
"No... still a little numb..." Lu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t suspect, they stared at each other for a while until Yu Si Niang came over to knock on the door, and Lu Yuanfeng finally got up.
His face, as if scorched by fire, was incredibly red.
Opening the door, Lu Yuanfeng hurried to the kitchen, gulped down a cold drink, finally somewhat cooled the burning sensation.
His frantic rush naturally sparked Yu Si Niang’s curiosity.
She asked Mu Shuangshuang, "Fengzi, what’s wrong? Why so hurried to the kitchen?"
"Nothing, probably just embarrassed seeing you," Mu Shuangshuang said.
Yu Si Niang chuckled helplessly, "What’s there to be embarrassed about, we’re all family, I’ll go talk to the boy."
Yu Si Niang finished speaking, intending to go to the kitchen.
Mu Shuangshuang grabbed her wrist, "Mom, I was kidding, don’t ask him!"
Yu Si Niang laughed, gently pressing Mu Shuangshuang’s forehead, "You clever little thing, I was joking, you thought mom would really go ask Fengzi."
"Oh, so mom was tricking me, I’m not talking to you anymore." Mu Shuangshuang pouted, turning her head away from Yu Si Niang.
Yu Si Niang was amused by her childlike behavior, laughing heartily.
"You’re such a little rascal, mom knows you’re not angry, okay, don’t tease mom anymore, we should go eat, your dad is waiting."
Yu Si Niang spoke as she found clothes for Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang took the clothes from Yu Si Niang, and went along to the kitchen.
